Emerging Technologies and Applications

Below are some novel applications. Because the number of them grows at a great rate, these only represent a snapshot taken at this writing, and the list is far from being complete.

The workshop took place at the Los Alixares Hotel, where 45 lectures were given by prominent members of the scientific community in addition, 49 posters were presented in two very animated sessions. The success of this workshop is due, without doubt, to the excellent tradition initiated at the previous workshops, organised by Prof. R. McWeeny in San Miniato, Pisa (Italy), 1996, and by Prof. S. Wilson in Oxford (United Kingdom), 1997. These workshops create occasions for meetings and discussions on the current state of the art, emerging methods and applications and new trends in this area of science. The three meetings were sponsored and partially supported by the European Union (EU) in the frame of the Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) chemistry actions. 

Abstract Fuel cells are an emerging technology with applications in transportation, stationary power, and portable power generation, with power outputs ranging from mW to MW. State of the art in fuel cell technology and challenges for their development and widespread applications are discussed. 

The application of emerging technologies and systems, including image-based high-content screening, RNA interference, and primary cells... 

The Internet has revolutionized the way information is delivered to computers. A whole chapter could be dedicated to the current and emerging technologies and their applicability to the drug industry. Besides the wealth of information available, the Internet also provides quick and inexpensive transfer of data. 

While the principles of time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry were well established for many years, significant breakthroughs in TOF technology and application were made in the 1990 s [57-58], This can be attributed to the emergence of MALDI as an ionization technique. TOF is considered as the ideal mass analyser for MALDI. This stimulated developments and research in TOF analysers, which in turn led to the rediscovery of the orthogonal-acceleration TOF (oaTOF). 

Capillary electrophoresis is still an emerging technology. Rapid development is occurring in separation capillaries, detector technology, and applications. 

Institute of Materials, Malaysia (IMM), Malaysia, and Mahatma Gandhi University (MGU), Kottayam, Kerala, India, under the auspices of the 8 International Materials Technology Conference and Exhibition (IMTCE 2012) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The second part of the chapters are the collections of lectures from the ISAPM 2012. Chapters 13 to 19 focus on apphcation areas emphasizing emerging trends and applications of polymeric materials, which cover the advances in the fields of polymer blends, micro- to nanocomposites, and biopolymers. 

In addition to an update on technology and application development, emerging application fields such as flexible displays, OLED/electroluminescent lighting and smart textiles will be included. 

The microemulsion process for material synthesis and other applications has sometimes been termed an emergent technology , and therefore, new developments are also taking place to increase the suitability of the process. One such important development that has taken place in microemulsion-mediated particle synthesis is the use of water-supercritical CO2 systems [225-227, 229, 425,445]. Though this system is also valid for macro- and miniemulsions, reports of particle synthesis (metals, sulfides, halides, as above) are so far essentially microemulsion-based. As the system is environment-friendly and follows some of the important requirements of green chemistry [452], this process is expected to be further matured into a technology for nanoparticle synthesis. The present scale of operation, however, is apparently very small.
